The Cocktail Portal Bar Tales

Hanging out with bartenders.

Until now, I feel I have been painting portraits of bartender’s life’s work. In spending so much time with them, I’ve developed a true admiration and respect for the countless, often thankless, hours that go into learning the craft. I’ve learned that the really good bartenders are those who have somehow become obsessed with a well balanced, delicious and creative cocktail. I wanted to share more than a portrait and showcase what it’s like to hang out with them and showcase more of their personalities. Thank you Amanda, Charity, Pedro, Raul and Yan for participating in my passion project. Thank you Fernet-Branca for the love and support of a project that was coming from the unknown.
